Summary
When hackers target vulnerable systems to dump databases, they often follow a series of steps. The process can vary depending on the type of database, the vulnerabilities present, and the attacker's skill level.
An attacker can automate the process of detecting and exploiting SQL injection vulnerabilities. Once they have sufficient access, they can dump the database, which means extracting all the data stored within it. This could include usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, or personal details.
